Save With Weatherization Rebates in Washington State

How to Take Advantage of Rebates and Tax Credits for Home Upgrades

Renovating your home can cost a lot of money. In fact, homeowners spent $463 billion on renovations in the first quarter of 2024, according to according to reports from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University (JCHS) Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA). Many homeowners also exceed their home renovation budgets. But you do not have to! You can save big on your next weatherization project with rebates and tax credits, whether that be in the crawl space or attic.
